Lee is 100% correct, Toyota has had more recalls in the last few years than anyone else. what about the trucks they recalled and replaced, you think they did that out of the goodness of their hearts, no they did it because of the huge liability that they faced. They replaced a small number of trucks to save their reputation. What about the other 80% of the trucks that were already junked because the frame rotted in two like my sons did. If the auto industry goes under, so does all manufacturing in the US, you think the economy is bad now, let the entire industrial base of th eUnited States go down and see what happens. I agree that the Auto industry does stupid things, but that's what they need to fix, like the union that is strangling the companies, how can you compete in the market place when you are forced to provide wages and benefits that are 5 times more than all your competitors. How can you justify paying some fat lazy slob $35 an hour to drive cars out side from the assembly line, answer is, you can't. I'll bet the guy that made this original post is pro union to.
Fat...lazy??? No, Dave the job you just described does not make that an hour. As a matter of fact they make $26 and hour, and 'just driving the truck' is not the entire job description. YES. I agree the Big Three in a whole made a lot of mistakes at the higher levels. They have unneeded management on the floor, they waste a lot. Many things can change, but, this can not be entirely blamed on FAT LAZY FORD WORKERS!
On another note, everyone that is bashing the auto workers, has anybody looked at the whole picture? Have you any idea how many people are going to be out of employment? I think I read somewhere that if Ford went down there was something like 68 million people out of work. That's not just Ford workers, it's also their suppliers and vendors of parts, also think about the cafeteria people, waste management people, truck drivers, warehouse workers....it goes wayyyy behind the FAT LAZY FORD WORKERS.
